You know when you scroll down and it looks like you haven't posted that much and what you have posted has been very much liked and commented?
Turns out facebook is a sneaky fucker. Click on timeline month by month, or click Activity Log and you will see all the useless shite you have posted, and forgotten about, and is still lurking on facebook, popping up on the side of your mates feeds and all sorts, and being used for who knows what algorythmic data by the thing.
Just went and basically deleted everything other than friend's comments up until recently. SO MUCH SHITE.

1)click into year, and then month by month on the small timeline thing on the top right
2)click into activity log and scroll through all the tiny font and try and see your posts.
So you can have loads of posts from 2010-now that you can't remember posting/weren't important and forget they are even there.
Basically it is hiding your own data from you and giving you a percieved idea of your own popularity by only showing you the popular posts, as well as almost removing your ability to remove old posts by not displaying them to you.

I think what I'm trying to say here is that you could, because of the site design, become less aware of how much, or how frequently the shite is posted, at a glance I see 30% of what I actually posted in the time period.

or 8 months ago? the point is it's there but you can't see it. if you forgot, the content remains. Not a big deal but it means what you see on your page vs what you actually post on the whole has a disparity.

a) I'm not really narcissistic enough to go reading through my old posts

b) I'm not really narcissistic enough to believe anyone else is going to go reading through my old posts.

I can't really work out your point here. On one hand, it's hidden so you can't really see it, but on the other hand, the only reason I can imagine anyone worrying about it still being there is that other people can see it. But if it's so well hidden, they're not going to see it....etc etc etc etc.

under 'memorable posts' and you can see a couple of random old posts (this was while in the sending private messages screen). dunno if they still do this but that's an example of how they reuse old content without really any awareness from us.

A). I called her mental. Not mentally I'll, although you may not agree there's a massive difference.
B) Darwindude this'd your post. Congrats on a validation on one of the worst posters in the history of this site. Bratty, insecure, emotionally fragile failure.

It was less the posts it was more my name use etc. and chumps like darcy getting their knickers in a twist in an embarrassing fashion. Once i realised they were only embarrassing themselves (which they really are!) i stopped minding.
